This Ludwig Classic Maple kit blends modern build quality with unmistakable vintage style in a striking Vintage Blue Oyster finish. The 5-piece setup features a warm, full-bodied Classic Maple shell pack with a punchy kick drum, a responsive rack tom, and two floor toms that deliver deep, musical low end and smooth sustain. At the center is a Ludwig Black Beauty snare, known for its crisp articulation, rich overtones, and wide dynamic range.
Paired with Zildjian Custom Dark cymbals and hi-hats, the kit offers a balanced, expressive voice—dark, complex cymbal tones complementing the natural warmth and clarity of the maple shells. Visually iconic and sonically versatile, this setup is equally at home on stage or in the studio, covering everything from classic rock and blues to modern alternative and beyond.
